    LS-dyna in Workbench

    LS-dyna in ansys Workbench is relatively new. There are no efficient tutoriales and descriptions for this module. Does anyone know how to increase the time step? The first plot show values in time steps but this resolution is not enough. how get plot with smaller time steps? The second screen...

    mesh merge (half section)

    Hello I need to make meshes connection only on a part of the flat surface. On part No. 1, I have a division of the surface. One section of the divided surface is to be taken from section 2 (mesh merge) Does anyone have experience with such a mesh preparation? I do not want to model the micro...

    Two versions of an Assembly = two ways to display ?

    Hi Tomas Yes it is simple. I have the documentation of an internal combustion engine and I need to convert it to the NX program. The assembly of the engine assy includes ~ 25 elements. It is necessary to make 11 views (each of them in different configuration= in NX arrangement. In each of the...

    Two versions of an Assembly = two ways to display ?

    Yes that is right. This is second way to do it but in my case not practical because I have 11 variants of colours It is better to have one assembly and 11….., what ? Arrangement don't remember colour…. Maybe there is something that will to remember several colour variants in one assembly? I...

    Two versions of an Assembly = two ways to display ?

    Hi This functionality is in Solid Works. I want to know how to do it (or similar) in NX. I have an assembly in goods is 5 Parts. In the 1st version of this assembly (configuration) all these parts (or solids) are the standard color. In the 2nd version of this Assembly the first two parts are...

    ansys and parameters / configuration tabl, (disable and enable support)

    Hi I am using ansys (v15) and there is one problem for me. Simulation model can be optimized easily. There is rectangle bar fixed in two corners and I am searching max stress in relation on dimension of the beam. Problem is: when I would like to enabled fix boundary conditio for third...

    Good morning I am still learning NX system .... and Learning How to set default fonts and its size for drawing mode (i want to have the same fonts and size everywhere: in tables, notes, dimensions) ? I have imported drawing form DWG and there are complications because when I want to insert...

    superelement- would it be helpful to use it in my simulation ?

    Hi I am not experienced in Patran. Most of the simulation I am doing in Ansys but these are complicated- I would need to write APDL script for it. I would like to ask you about you opinion. I have simple a simple simulation of shaft (shaft consist of 4 sections , exactly the same sections). On...

    any quick way (tip) to adjust / trim faces of parts in ASSEMBLY?

    Hi I have got some assembly file with a referenced drawing in it. Everything would be OK but there are plenty of collisions: one part is to long, another too short. I tried finding a quick way to prove this model but that seems to be more complicated that I suspected Look at the attachment How...

    missing edges in view (Drafting mode)

    Today I opened the same drawing and I did what you suggest and It is working. I must admit that I tried this yesterday but there was no change in the view. I suppose the problem was somewhere else and Just restarting Nx program helps because now SILHOUETTES options work properly. :) Thanks very...

    missing edges in view (Drafting mode)

    I don't understand what is the reason of this problem. I changed something in settings and now I dont rememember what was that but when I am making View in Drawing mode then in the view "midle -edges" of cylinders, surfaces... disappear. I used before option UPDATE VIEW> DRAWINGS > VIEW...

    Viewing sketch on the drawing.

    Hello. I did new drawing and now is better (moved sketch to layer). My problem was about some error and misunderstanding how NX works. At the beginning I see that everything is ok and when I am adding sketch and ZOOMING IN then the problem appears. The very rough view appears when I am zooming...

    Viewing sketch on the drawing.

    Hello Is there anyone who has a suspicion, which is the reason for the problems with the displaing. I suspected it was something more obvious. hmmm.. Regards

    Viewing sketch on the drawing.

    Hello I am doing drawing and when I am switching between sheets there always some small problems with visualization of sketch. I suppose this is well known detail about settings but "reviewing" doesn't help. After de-activation of sketch everything is ok but this low quality of the view comes...

    Editing drawing template

    Thank you John. mmm... Now I understand why this is so popular in cad systems. Other cad like Solid Works also have separat configuration for Drawing and Sheet. Now all is clear.

    Editing drawing template

    Hello Thank you Tomas, thank you John. Yes now I am using "Drawing Format" tools from NX 8. I asked you about this because I have seen some tutorial where it was suggested to use sketch for making own table in template but tree looks different to the original template tree in navigator. I don't...

    Editing drawing template

    Hello I am using NX8 Thank you Tomas (toost) for your very useful . I didn't expect this is so complicated because of the development process. I have checked what you have said. 1. I am preparing some drawing-template and then exporting to CGM 2. I am opening a NEW drawing 3. Importing CGM...

    Model revision in nx without TC ?

    Hello Thank you Toots and jpetach for your replay. You are very helpful. I have checked your solution and now is ok Moreover I checked also how revision works with settings: "search dirs" and "from folder". There are no difference, it works good. Most important is to use the first version of...
